“ OMG! This is my Favorite Mexican food place! Everything is fresh, tasty, authentic and flavorful! The Cashiers are nice friendly! You won't be disappointed! A hole in the wall with limited seating but is on the Pier with ample seating! Bring lots of quarters for parking! Weekends are hectic but during the week is easier! ”
“ Absolutely fantastic late night Mexican food at the pier. Great prices and great food at this late night outdoor restaurant. I usually eat here when staying in Redondo beach and everything it's great. Sub 20 meals and decent portions. I had the chicken quesadilla tonight and it was awesome. The pier is a real piece of so cal history too, so it's a treat to soak up the atmosphere. Can't reccomended it enough ”
“ Great place to try a fresh mojarra and very tasty coctel de camaron. The birria burrito is also a good option. Mi kids loved the French fries. This is a nice place for eating outdoors! ”
“ Fast service and amazing food. More variations of birria tacos than you could imagine in your wildest dreams. Not to mention, had sodas with real sugar in them. The ceviche wasn't bad either. Offered extra chips. And all of this for extremely reasonable prices. This mail made our day! ”
“ This restaurant is a really great stop and go service. The tacos were soo good! I definitely recommend over any other food options here! ”
“ Located on the Redondo Beach Pier in California, and open later than most other restaurants on the pier! Food 5* husband and I both tried the quesabirria tacos. Had a nice crisp taco shell, birria was flavored well. I assumed it came with a side of consome, but it does not. Honestly the meat is so juicy you don’t really need it! Our friends chose the chicken tacos and torta de birria. Both said their meals were great! Their elote was alright. We live in Nebraska, so it’s hard to enjoy corn unless it’s fresh. I am assuming they use canned corn. Crepe was cooked nicely. Can’t go wrong with strawberries, bananas, Nutella, and whipped cream! We went back our last day of the trip for their funnel cake! Possibly need to change their oil? The funnel cake was aright but either old oil or slightly overcooked. Service 5* Everyone was very friendly!! Service was quick and food was brought out to us instead of having to use the pickup window. Atmosphere 5* Right off the pier, you can see and smell the ocean from the tables right outside the restaurant. It is outdoor seating only, even if there’s not space on the few tables in front there are plenty of options just a short walk to a bench or table. Obviously plan for the weather since it’s outdoor seating! Overall we would go back to this restaurant! They have a huge selection of food options for lunch, dinner, hitting your sweet tooth, and they are even open for breakfast! ”
“ I’m from Chicago. I travel all over this world. I had 1 shrimp, 1 fish and 1 birria taco. These were some of the best tacos I have had! Great job guys. Lots of love put into the food. ”
